Description
Sex: Female
Type of clothing: Sneakers
When it was popular: 1980s
Description: They were Thom McAnn sneakers. The most popular stock #'s were for white ones 79816 and for the black ones 79820. They had no support but were comfortable anyhow. Fayva shoes came out with a sneaker that was similar called Candies but I don't believe sold as well. The balloon sneakers I believe sold for .99.

They were made of stretch fabric. Even the laces were stretchy. I still wear mine.

Had a blue pair especially for a school trip to D.C. First day of the trip, I spilled chocolate milk on them.

I USED TO BUY THE BALLOON SNEAKERS AT K MART. LUCKILY I GOT DUPLICATES OF ALL THE COLORS. I ALWAYS BOUGHT THE ONES THAT HAD THE ZIPPER CLOSURES. I BOUGHT THEM AS RECENTLY AS 2008 AND STILL HAVE AT LEAST 8 PRS OF THEM - EVERY COLOR THAT THEY OFFERED. HAVEN'T SEEN THEM THE PAST FEW TIMES I'VE BEEN AT K MART. THEY WERE/ARE MY FAVORITE SHOES.

I remember that there were Balloon hightops that were a different color on the inside if you rolled the top down.
